Taintlight (2009)

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

TAINTLIGHT is an open spoof of TWILIGHT by the one and only Chris Seaver, a filmmaker with no discernible talent behind or in front of the camera. Seaver is best known for his shot-on-video horror/exploitation fare such as the FILTHY MCNASTY series but this sees him attempting a proper spoof of a popular film.Sadly, it's as infantile and ridiculous as the rest of the director's oeuvre, featuring nothing more than a bunch of non-actors getting into costume and hanging out in the woods. The humour is puerile, the over the top performances are supposed to be funny but really aren't, and the whole thing is nothing more than an appeal to the lowest common denominator.

This is actually a very interesting short film (video) although at times it seems to go out of it's way to be funny.PROS: It is a spoof of a series I am not a huge fan of which in it's own right makes it funny. The over dramatic as well as the occasional under dramatic acting give this an almost comical edge that most spoofs seem to either overdo or fail at performing. The opening shot of the guy trying to find a place to poop was somehow hilarious to me as well as the very last scene of the film. I did actually laugh genuinely throughout this short.CONS: The cinematography was rather bad, editing should have been better, the short seemed a little rushed at times and a couple of the supporting cast were a little too bland.Overall this short film is pretty good and quite interesting. It is good to watch as long as you do not try and take it seriously and aren't a huge fan of the overdone and overrated series this little short film (video) makes fun of.

This movie was by far the worst spoof movie I have ever seen. I read the other two reviews and I honestly have no idea what was so funny about this movie. I love spoof movies, they're silly and crack me up with laughter but this movie, Taintlight, was just plain bad. The acting was terrible, the dad's character was funny in a sense that it was all in bad taste, and the story line... just bad. I skipped forward twice in this movie as the terrible scenes just drag on. It honestly was torture to watch and I just couldn't take it. I tried to watch it, I really did, I even waited for the vampires to show up in hopes that maybe it would pick up but it didn't. All the same execrable scenes left much to be desired. I wanted to laugh when I clicked play but all I got was a headache from rolling my eyes so often. Don't watch this movie if you have an intelligent sense of humor. What a waste of my time this movie turned out to be. Stupidity in it's finest form.

This movie is so low budget and stupid that it's actually quite funny. It's basically the hard 'R' rated version of Vampires Suck. Stella moves back to the town of Bonejack Heights and with her incest dad.(The dad is hilarious because he has an incredibly fake mustache and tries to flirt with his daughter) When she goes to school, she meets a vampire named Edgar Mullen who treats her like crap, but she starts a love triangle with him and a Michael Jackson-loving werewolf named Jack. Edgar must protect her from Razor McBleed and his gang. If you like stupid movies, such as Twilight, you'll probably enjoy TAINTLIGHT!!!
